So, I just watched the season finale. Here are my critical points: Tirek wasn't mentioned at all in the series, besides the appearance in the hassle in the castle episode, and suddenly the most evil villain ever comes out of almost nowhere? Twilight's castle has NO RIGHT to hold such huge halls and entrances, it must be a lot smaller on the outside. I suspect Discord. The princesses lost their alicorn magic, AND their cutie marks? I thought they just gave her their magic, not that too. Twilight's horribly stupid move, letting her friends go free in exchange for her magic that if Tirek had, COULD DOOM EQUESTRIA! I mean, it did work out, but only through: The box didn't 'contain' anything! Why even put it in a box? Worse was the outfits it put on them, it looked insane! I mean, Twilight's was the only one I actually liked, but the rest of them looked like a Hasbro doll-selling scheme. Discord was stupid enough to actually trust Tirek, the master of evil and slavery, etc. etc. Not to mention, that he was constantly dropping hints how they wouldn't rule together. You think he'd have seen that coming. On the bright side, we got a new Orbital Friendship Cannon gif! You saw the magical mushroom cloud, right? Somebody cut that out and turn it into a gif. On the dark side, notice how EVERYTHING is back to normal. Honestly, I'm not surprised, since Status Quo is God here, but I'm still disappointed that nothing changed. Oh yeah, I almost forgot. Twilight's library tree was blown up and has a crystal palace tree representing friendships and Fluttershy. (Get it?) So yay, now they can sell a crystal tree set too. Can I ramble more? Might I add, that all this BS is appearing in my world too, and I'm not really happy. I mean, sure, the palace is impressive, but it's really kind of stupid the way it was shown.
Yeah... Please? I'm not even caught up yet, I almost read that. >.> (I don't have cable anymore, so I gotta watch it whenever I freakin' remember AND can find a website that has them.) I'm just a stalker, I barely post. So, in other news, I'm being evicted! Yaaay, I get to move away from the drug dealers! (That's, uh, not a joke. Lol. I better not get a single sympathy post, I swear I'll burn your house down.)
Well, to answer your questions: Tirek was mentioned.... in Gen 1. So yes, he was mentioned back before I was born. That's wicked and totally not the point of your argument. Twilight's castle have ALL THE LEFT to hold such halls and entrances. Discord is best pony. I suppose cutie makrs are related to their magic somehow. Don't ask me how though; I'm not a major character in the show. Well, if twilight knew that sacrificing her magic would unlock the box, she might have done it, but it seems like she wouldn't have known that. Also, SHE SAW TIRECK BETRAY DISCORD. Why would she think Tireck would hold his promise of releasing her friends even after she gave up her powers? Of course, Tireck just had to fulfill the end of his bargain first, for whatever the reason. No, heartstring. The box contained the entire season 4 DVD in blueray. It's so obvious I'm surprised you didn't see it. Discord didn't have chaos in a long while. He's thirsty for chaos, and are blinded by it. Also, he took no risk in accepting Tireck's offer, since EVERYONE FORGAVE HIM INSTANTLY. Yes, nothing has changed in the big picture, but I'd say that Spike definitely gained a lot from this adventure. Now that he has wings and magic, and can change his size at will, I think he will be a lot more useful in season 5, maybe even becoming a main fighting force for twilight. *I wasn't being serious about the last comment*
All your previous comments now make sense and are very true. I was kinda expecting Firey twilight to make an appearance. :/ I'd rather they all turned into celestia type ponies (tall and majestic stuff) rather than what did happen.
My brother used to be, but I didn't find out until after he moved out... Very long after. He's also gay, found that out in the same day. But yeah, seriously, I'm pretty optimistic and one of the very very good things about being evicted is I get to move away from the drug dealers who know my face... Don't ask why they do, but I have never done drugs of any kind, nor smoked, nor drank alcohol... So it's not that. >.> Just sayin'.
Ahh, I'm still only up to ep 8 or 9 lol. Couldn't keep up and/or got annoying by the YT takedowns x.x
